It is sweet to see you spending intimate feeding time with your baby! It's not often in today's world of working moms that we see mothers breast feeding their babies, let alone one's 8th! You are a role model for so many and I am sure your daughters are receiving the best education and lessons through you. Your children are beautiful! Well done on this video!
Vous êtes vraiment une bonne maman vous faites super bien à manger en plus de tous ses enfants bravo ,je sais pas comment vous faites sa doit pas être facile. Vos enfants sont très beaux et votre fille vous aide c est bien ❤❤❤
Some mothers don’t have that option. Lisa is blessed to be able to do those things. Lisa also works extremely hard. I admire her, as well as working moms who love their families and do the best of their ability.
Seeing you homemaking makes me realize what the norm was 100 years ago and how much we've lost as a society. Thanks for showing us that we CAN do it again.
This is far from a real depiction of “what the norm was 100 years ago” there was a lot of bad that isn’t being shown here. Let’s not overly glorify the past. We haven’t lost anything we’ve gained freedom & choice.
It's sad, isn't it? We have lost such simple things like kids playing outside, growing our own food, knowing how to cool, etc...I'm working on building some of these skills. :)
@@tulipan16 exactly but they had no choice, no education, no way out. Many were abused, many died in childbirth. Most were very young girls married to much older men. Lived in poverty with very little pleasures. So many issues but people forget that I guess.
Agreed. We’ve lost a lot of the simple in society but there is also a lot of advantages too. Just have to channel them both. Her husband is home with her all day. That’s a huge difference than 100 years ago lol
I wish I would have had something like that when my son was born. I don't think they existed back then. I had a nice utilitarian type, but not a comfortable one for use all of the time.
As an eldest daughter, I think it's wonderful that you hired your daughter to help. I can't tell you how many years I babysat my 3 younger sibs for free. And, that included the time our stove caught fire! I called the fire department (this was before 911 was around), then the sister next in age helped me empty the shelves next to the stove as they held new dishes that my mother had just bought and I knew Mom would be unhappy if they were destroyed. Our youngest sibs were watching for firemen from the front porch. The firemen couldn't believe we emptied shelves next to a fire.
@@cynthiaoconnor7185What a memorable story! You’re so sweet to care for your mom’s things, but what a scary experience. I agree, it’s wonderful to offer oldest kiddos more autonomy in their “jobs” they have :)
I am so sorry :( it sounds like you were told that your safety is not as important as the stuff your mother has :( and no @gretelgolden parentifying children is not ok. It is ok to give them tasks where you can live with the consequences if something happens. Imagine someone would have gotten hurt. The parents would have blamed the child and the child would have blamed herself and would have to live with the guilt
@MadameEclipseRose if that was me and something happened I would’ve NEVER blamed the kids! I also think kids should help without pay but to get paid if it’s something bigger like do the family’s laundry for a whole summer or something.
I just had my fourth and I totally agree going from zero to one was the hardest. My only regret is that I didn’t have more. I am 37 now and I’m not sure if I’m getting too far up there. I love finding community where children are viewed as a blessing and not a burden.
Definitely not getting too far up there! 😉 I’m expecting #9 and will be 41 when I deliver…with my wonderful hospital midwives….even though this is my 3rd “advanced maternal pregnancy” according to my chart 😂 Honestly it’s pretty meaningless ☺️
@@SummerLove-yv1kf Unfortunately, I'm still technically of "advanced material age" even though I deliver with midwives. I'll be delivering my fourth about a month before my 36th birthday, and we're definitely hoping for one or two more after that!
Im a mom of 5...planning on 6 in the next 18 months For me the hardest transition was 1 kid to 2. It was hard to learn to prioritize what child needed what first, being pulled in more than one direction The first wasnt easy, but i struggled more with having 2. After that it got easier because i had learned to juggle better
You always amaze me with your relaxed mothering style. You and your husband are giving your children wonderful lifelong memories and education. Blessings for your beautiful family.
Oh my gosh, just the two days or so that I've been watching her, I've calmed my mind. I'm at a standstill, recovering from surgery, and needed to adjust to slowing down from my usual FT working mama of 2 little boys. She's a gem. 🥰
I’m currently going through the “laying low” phase with my 1 week old newborn, #9 for us. I ventured outside this morning for the first time to gather tomatoes. It felt good, but had to go lie down after. Knowing your body and taking it easy are really key. And I agree, 0-1 was hardest for me, too!
It’s been hard for me to lay low too. I had #4 4 months ago, had to try so hard and still I kept getting fresh blood again. With my #3 I only bled for 9 days cus I really took it easy and my hubby was home and did everything. He was home this time too but we had just moved overseas from the US 2 months before baby was born so there was a lot going on in my mind and hard to take it easy. Hopefully if we are blessed with more I can actually take it easy and have shorter recovery and bleeding period 😊 I hope we have more children, I feel like I will never be done giving birth and having newborns, best thing ever. I freebirth (#3 and #4) and it’s the most wonderful thing! 😍

My daughter and son in law are teaching their kids home chores as well as the kids work with their father and earn money. They have four children so far. My oldest grandson picked out a pair of sneakers for school not realizing they were $150😳 He told his parents that was to much and picked out another type. It wasn’t exactly what he wanted but he knew they could not afford those sneakers. I was very proud of him. When you give them responsibility they realize it takes hard work to buy things it teaches and gives them principles.
I really have to say a BIG thank you to you Lisa! Since coming across your channel and podcast my perspective on home life has changed so much. I have a 12 month old at the moment and have felt it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and even guilty when I’m taking care of the home instead of playing and having fun with her. You’ve made me realise it’s a privilege to take care of our home and provide a healthy and functional home for our family and that there’s nothing to feel guilty about because kids need to fit into our life and don’t need to be constantly entertained by us (especially as they get older). I’ve been able to balance my day so much better since coming to this perspective. I’ve also been making my own bread (not sourdough quite yet but I’m working on a starter) and I’ve even been enjoying cooking which I hardly ever enjoyed before. I feel so much more calm and accepting of my days and am starting to slow down and not rush so much!! It’s such a relief. I now know I can handle having many more babies and I can treasure it! Overall you are a great influence and I’m so grateful that you have shared your life online so that we can see what is possible.
I am in awe of you, lady! I can't believe how much you pack into your days with all of your lovely children... what a wonderful role model you and your husband are for the world 🥰
I totally understand what your saying. Each baby I had it got easier. You learn to figure out your days. My 8,9 were twins, so that was a different adventure. I had my 10th at 42 years old. I’m 47 now and my youngest is 5. Life will give you the way and you just need to roll with it. Thank you so much for sharing this day with us. Your children are adorable
You know it's hard for me to watch mom vlogs because they just seem so unrealistic. But yours are the only ones that calm me and inspire me to be better. Thank you for your content!
Oh such sweet baby scenes with Victor! Love his dark hair! Precious moment with the oldest son holding the youngest son! Thank you for sharing this video Lisa! Have a great date night!
I’m pregnant with my second, and my first will be about 18 months when this baby is born. Seeing you work and care for your other kids is very encouraging, as I’m nervous about the transition from 1 to 2. Praying for you & your beautiful family ❤
1-2 was my hardest After that it wasn’t hard My first newborn wasn’t hard as I had tons of childcare experience, incl babies. I could sleep when he did. The second tho- no more lazy days lol One of me, 2 of them!
Your amazing. I was second to the oldest of ten. Never felt like another sibling made a difference. I am 69 now and still time with my siblings is the best. Good job mama.
I love spending time with you. You make me feel calm and feel hopeful for the future of our country. Our lives couldn't be more different from one another. I'm an urban 76 year old. Married 30 years and unfortunately and sadly no children. Watching your beautiful videos and seeing the wonderful and wholesome l life you and your husband have created for yourselves and your children just makes me happy. Mad respect and thank you for sharing your lives with us. Beautiful Victor. Beautiful children. ❤
I agree with so many of the comments! It’s a joy to watch you enjoy and take care of everything in your stride and not get overwhelmed or stressed by your added work load as a homemaker. It’s inspiring seeing you with your family, in your kitchen and garden. Thanks so much always for sharing ❤
For me, it used to be 0 to 1, but the transition from 2 to 3 was the hardest for me. My youngest is special needs, and it was like being a new parent all over again. I had to learn so many new things, and our whole family had to adapt to a new lifestyle. My yougest is almost 3, and it's been hard, but we're learning to navigate life as it is now and it has gotten easier.
Mom of 7 here - and I agree that 0 to 1 was the hardest! I didn’t know how to trust my instincts. Once I figured that out, each one was added with much more confidence ♥️
Wow! Thank the Lord for your healthy baby and beautiful family. You and your husband and family are truly an inspiration! Wishing you many more future blessings.
If the good Lord let's me live, I am growing flowers next year. You make it look so effortless and they are beautiful! Thank you for your calming videos. Your home and family are beautiful❤
Canning tomatoes in big batches: I core and quarter my tomatoes and freeze them in gallon ziplocks. When I run out of freezer space I do a big batch of them by thawing in a roaster, ladeling off the watery juice, cooking them a little, and then running them through my victorio strainer. The strainer is new for me this year and in the past I'd run them through a cone strainer or food mill. The victorio is so much better! With the juice I let it settle and pour off the watery part, leaving the red juice. This year I added bloody Mary mix powder and canned that too. For my first batch of tomatoes this year I made pizza sauce, so good!
My youngest daughter just had her 1st baby on Tuesday. It was 19 hours of labor and an emergency c-section later that we welcomed her adorable baby boy,Ryker, into the world 🥰 I’ve never felt so helpless in my life 😞 She was a trooper and did an amazing job!! He is perfect! And Momma and baby are doing great ❤️
I loved the tender moments where you kissed Victor. If I had a penny for every time I did this with my babies, it would have added up very quickly. Even with your large brood, it’s wonderful that you so obviously appreciate this unique and fleeting time in your life and his. I also wanted to comment on everything you are giving to your daughter when you trust that she will do the big job of finishing off your slip covers. How awesome that she knows you have confidence in her ability to perform and complete such a big job. She must be feeling so confident and proud of herself. I really love your parenting style!
I love it! I have been buying raw milk from a local farmer since our former go-to neighbor friend/farmer had to sell off his dairy heifers. I have done a few skimming which have sometimes been great and sometimes not!
Reminds me of our family 😊 I also enjoy small batch canning - though it doesn't give that Wow factor of full shelves in one day, it sure is a more fluid way to add new items to store up more frequently, while only adding about 30 minutes of work that is likely part of the plan anyhow. And the first was the biggest change from just being a couple responsible adults, to being 24/7 responsible for someone else, plus it was all new to learn; after that the skills are there so you make things flow more easily, and you know what not to worry about.
I love your videos. I’ve cooked your sourdough fluffy biscuits 4 times this week. So good with honey butter and gravy biscuits. And congratulations on new baby boy!
I love love love your videos and all you do for yourself and your family. I'm going to shift my mindset here a little bit. Before, when I would see videos like this, mature and skilled mamas- I could barely make it one minute into the video. I would be reminded of all the ways I did not add up as a mom and as a homemaker, which is not their faults, it was mine (I just had my little girl three months ago). NOW- after actually finding your videos... I'm shifting my thinking to- hey. This is beautiful. The only reason I struggled before is because this is what I aspire to be like. And it won't always be perfect, but if keep working towards bettering the areas I struggle in, I will get better and better as time goes on. And the fact that you said that going from zero to one was your hardest made me SO ENCOURAGED. This is our first baby. I was never taught these homemaking things growing up, so I'm glad me (a young mom) can look up to people like you to learn. I'm excited to grow! Keep doing what you're doing, beautiful mama! We love your videos and thank you for reminding us that it was a process for you, too.
❤ You’re amazing! Popping my sourdough bread in the oven today for day 3 before going back to work after a week vacation. Summer has finally cooled off enough to turn on the oven again while the rain watches over the gardens. Victor is adorable! Enjoy your snuggly private moments knowing you are blessed! 😊
Throw tomatoes in the freezer as u bring them in. U can core them first if u like but freeze them w skins on. Then when ur ready to make something run them under hot water and the skins fall right off. So easy! Keep a box in a deep freeze to add to and do a big batch.
I will always credit you Lisa for giving me the gift of learning how to create my own sourdough starter in my mid twenties that I hope to keep and use for years to come as I start my family. Another lovely video, God Bless! 🕊️🤍🙏🏽
Lisa, so wonderful to see you and sweet baby Victor. Loved your scenes of late summer daily projects ..I find them so comforting and rewarding. Great to hear about your book..💕💕Liz💕👏
I feel that 0 to 1 is the biggest change, yes, but that's been the easiest for me. I could actually focus on recovery, sleep when the baby sleeps, doctor visits weren't as difficult, etc.. when you have other kids you can't do all that easily. It's not practical because the household and other kid(s) need you. My hardest was 2-3 but only because they were so close in age and my oldest had school, so I was having to do so much. With 1-2 my first was prek and pretty self sufficient.
I am sure many mentioned it , but on gathering tomatoes for a bigger preservation project, Jessica with Three Rivers Homestead teaches to put the tomatoes in a zip lock bag in the freezer. The peeling come right off as they thaw when you pull out the bags to do your desired project .
I absolutely agree that having zero kids then having your first one is definitely the hardest transition. After that, you find your stride and it’s just tossing baby into the daily routine 😂 I’ve got 4 so far.
Yay! We just got home from the expo and I can finally sit and watch 😁 it was so nice sitting and talking with you this weekend and letting the kids play! Thank you for being real! ❤Kacy
Hi Lisa, a couple tips for you, you can also freeze dry your ricotta and even milk. Also, freeze tomatoes until you have enough for a big batch to can. Love your videos and Congratulations on Victor!
That little bit of a baby boy 🥰 was incorporated into your thriving, loving family seamlessly…..God Bless You for being open to raising a large family. It is a blessing for ALL of the children and you and Luke 🙏🏼
You are such a good mum and I admire your strength and determination to make such a wonderful home for your family. I enjoy watching your videos, thank you. ❤
I’m so glad your daughter brought new life to the chair slip-cover! The video of you making it was how I came to know and follow you. You made it seem easy, so I slip-covered one myself. Still looks beautiful!
Luke did a great job with the garden and now that the girls are older that must,help. I love your kitchen. It reminds me of my childhood farm home. Love you and your family
Some things we use the ricotta for is lemon ricotta pancakes and spread some of fresh toast and drizzle with honey or maple syrup. Or any type of syrup, also spread on toast and toat with everything bagel seasoning, or tomatoes
What a precious baby!!! It’s wonderful to see all your children involved with your every life with chores, cooking, repairing items etc etc. As always, your food looks so delicious!! God bless.
You are truly AMAZING! I get stressed and tired just from all that you do throughout the day... I know your husband appreciates you so much. Your baby is beautiful, and my God continue to bless you.
The flowers, your home, you- absolutely beautiful. Your children are so sweet and are getting so big! It’s fun to watch every year how they grow. Your new little boy is so precious. What a wonderful mama you are ❤ I ordered the kiwi co! My 3 will love it! Thank you ❤ May god bless you all ❤
@@patriciakeats5823 isn’t it though? Just wait, she blows you away all the time. I’ve been watching her videos for almost 4 years now. ❤️🙌🏻 Her sister, Laura, had a channel called “Our Oily House” here on RUclips, she’s so sweet also!
I have 5 grown children and I agree, baby number one rocked my whole world, everything changed, but as I had more it became so much easier. Try ricotta pancakes, they have a lot of protein, nice and hearty. Thank you for another great post, God bless you as you put a new cookbook together.
Have you ever made gelato? I read it’s made with milk, cream and egg yolks. That would be a tasty way to use up some milk and eggs! Also Victor is so darn precious!
Beautiful video as always! Thank you for sharing your life with us. Tip for saving up tomatoes for canning big batches….. as ripe tomatoes come in, rinse them and core them and then freeze in gallon zip locks. When they thaw, the skins slip right off. No need to blanch. Then you can do all your tomatoes at once.
You are such an inspiration! What a darling baby! Your videos just make my day, I am so glad young mothers have you as a guide for motherhood, being a good wife and homemaker, and what a beautiful daughter of God. God bless you all!
I’m watching you thinking about when we were raising our nine children and wishing I still had the energy I see in you. I guess that’s why you have them young. But the one thing I can tell you is grand babies are awesome! ❤
Safety recommendations are for bottled lemon juice to ensure enough acidity. I'm sharing this in case any one is new at canning. I use citric acid so my tomatoes don't taste like lemon. Congratulations on your beautiful baby.
I watch your videos at night before going to bed as a sort of meditation😂not only are you so inspiring to my motherhood/homemaking/homeschool journey, your vlogs are insanely relaxing to me and I can not get enough. Thank you for all that you do!!!!❤
I can not wait for your book!!! I would love to pay and meet you and learn with you how to make these beautiful cheeses, breads and meals You're incredible
So precious. I miss having babies. My last one was born October 1985. I wished I would have known about wraps back then. What a lovely way for the baby. It simulates them still being in their momma's belly. How healthy for them.
Lisa enjoy this beautiful season, I'm a mom to 8 as well, I found adding the 4 childr to be a difficult transition for myself having 4 kids 5 and under. Then I got the hang of it. I'm similar to you I struggled with the rest time , always wanting to be busy and productive. Love to watch the kiddos grow , you are amazing!
Thank you so much for all the knowledge and wisdom you share about postpartum. You completely transformed my postpartum season with my third baby, and now, I am looking joyfully towards my fourth postpartum season in January. I started to have many issues after my second and was worried I couldn't have more. Now, I am expecting my fourth and know there is a possibility of having many more if I'm careful and take good care of my body in the postpartum season.
Oh my gosh a book!? Like a cook book? I hope so!!! I hate having to get on the inter webs to find your recipes. Books are easier sometimes. Love your new baby and this gorgeous video! Thank you!
I always admire you. Your sweet Victor is so precious. When I started watching you, Micah was the baby. Now you have another darker haired babe. So cute.

Your amazing. I was second to the oldest of ten. Never felt like another sibling made a difference. I am 69 now and still time with my siblings is the best. Good job mama.
Thanks for sharing that!!
I love spending time with you. You make me feel calm and feel hopeful for the future of our country. Our lives couldn't be more different from one another. I'm an urban 76 year old. Married 30 years and unfortunately and sadly no children. Watching your beautiful videos and seeing the wonderful and wholesome l life you and your husband have created for yourselves and your children just makes me happy. Mad respect and thank you for sharing your lives with us. Beautiful Victor. Beautiful children. ❤
Thank you!
I agree with so many of the comments! It’s a joy to watch you enjoy and take care of everything in your stride and not get overwhelmed or stressed by your added work load as a homemaker. It’s inspiring seeing you with your family, in your kitchen and garden. Thanks so much always for sharing ❤
I love the fact that you are authentic yourself without changing your content presentation based on the comments
8 children! You are an AMAZING WOMAN. God give you strength.
One of my aunts had 7 boys.
I love that your kitchen seems very minimal and even with cooking all day long, you still have everything you need.
For me, it used to be 0 to 1, but the transition from 2 to 3 was the hardest for me. My youngest is special needs, and it was like being a new parent all over again. I had to learn so many new things, and our whole family had to adapt to a new lifestyle. My yougest is almost 3, and it's been hard, but we're learning to navigate life as it is now and it has gotten easier.
Your daughter helping in the kitchen is so sweet. Beautiful family❤
YOU!!! Just Amaze Me! in every way! shape! and form!! Praying the Good Lord will bless you your family!🙏😔❤️
Mom of 7 here - and I agree that 0 to 1 was the hardest!
I didn’t know how to trust my instincts. Once I figured that out, each one was added with much more confidence ♥️
Wow! Thank the Lord for your healthy baby and beautiful family. You and your husband and family are truly an inspiration! Wishing you many more future blessings.
If the good Lord let's me live, I am growing flowers next year. You make it look so effortless and they are beautiful! Thank you for your calming videos. Your home and family are beautiful❤
You can do it!
You are an amazing homemaker. Your family is so blessed!
I feel like our lives are so similar except you have twice the kids!! I feel like I see my future and it’s beautiful ❤ love your videos Lisa.
I also have 8 boys in a row. With a girl on both ends. We are homeschooling 7 of them this year. I have been homeschooling for 18 years now
Canning tomatoes in big batches: I core and quarter my tomatoes and freeze them in gallon ziplocks. When I run out of freezer space I do a big batch of them by thawing in a roaster, ladeling off the watery juice, cooking them a little, and then running them through my victorio strainer. The strainer is new for me this year and in the past I'd run them through a cone strainer or food mill. The victorio is so much better! With the juice I let it settle and pour off the watery part, leaving the red juice. This year I added bloody Mary mix powder and canned that too. For my first batch of tomatoes this year I made pizza sauce, so good!
My youngest daughter just had her 1st baby on Tuesday. It was 19 hours of labor and an emergency c-section later that we welcomed her adorable baby boy,Ryker, into the world 🥰 I’ve never felt so helpless in my life 😞 She was a trooper and did an amazing job!! He is perfect! And Momma and baby are doing great ❤️
Awe! Congratulations to the whole family!
Thank you!!! He is so precious ❤️
I loved the tender moments where you kissed Victor. If I had a penny for every time I did this with my babies, it would have added up very quickly. Even with your large brood, it’s wonderful that you so obviously appreciate this unique and fleeting time in your life and his. I also wanted to comment on everything you are giving to your daughter when you trust that she will do the big job of finishing off your slip covers. How awesome that she knows you have confidence in her ability to perform and complete such a big job. She must be feeling so confident and proud of herself. I really love your parenting style!
I love it! I have been buying raw milk from a local farmer since our former go-to neighbor friend/farmer had to sell off his dairy heifers. I have done a few skimming which have sometimes been great and sometimes not!
Reminds me of our family 😊 I also enjoy small batch canning - though it doesn't give that Wow factor of full shelves in one day, it sure is a more fluid way to add new items to store up more frequently, while only adding about 30 minutes of work that is likely part of the plan anyhow. And the first was the biggest change from just being a couple responsible adults, to being 24/7 responsible for someone else, plus it was all new to learn; after that the skills are there so you make things flow more easily, and you know what not to worry about.
3:20 what a harvest! you are truly blessed.
6 little boys.🥰 Violet told me she wants to have 8 boys.❤️I love the Real flowers. Dahlias are so beautiful.
I freeze my tomatoes as I pick them and once they thaw out you can peel the skin right off! Saves time and I get to pick the day I do canning!
I love your videos. I’ve cooked your sourdough fluffy biscuits 4 times this week. So good with honey butter and gravy biscuits. And congratulations on new baby boy!
I learned how to sourdough from her too, God bless her!
Omg those tomatoes look SO GOOD
Ugh, I love this so much! Thank you for showing the pieces of your day!! Being a mom with littles is so hard but so rewarding! Thank you!!
I can’t wait for your new book!! Your new baby is so adorable all your children r so cute.
I LOVE how you carry your newborn! Sooo precious! ❤
I love love love your videos and all you do for yourself and your family.
I'm going to shift my mindset here a little bit. Before, when I would see videos like this, mature and skilled mamas- I could barely make it one minute into the video. I would be reminded of all the ways I did not add up as a mom and as a homemaker, which is not their faults, it was mine (I just had my little girl three months ago). NOW- after actually finding your videos... I'm shifting my thinking to- hey. This is beautiful. The only reason I struggled before is because this is what I aspire to be like. And it won't always be perfect, but if keep working towards bettering the areas I struggle in, I will get better and better as time goes on.
And the fact that you said that going from zero to one was your hardest made me SO ENCOURAGED. This is our first baby.
I was never taught these homemaking things growing up, so I'm glad me (a young mom) can look up to people like you to learn. I'm excited to grow!
Keep doing what you're doing, beautiful mama! We love your videos and thank you for reminding us that it was a process for you, too.
Thanks so much for sharing encouragement with all of us and for any new moms that need it!
❤ You’re amazing! Popping my sourdough bread in the oven today for day 3 before going back to work after a week vacation. Summer has finally cooled off enough to turn on the oven again while the rain watches over the gardens. Victor is adorable! Enjoy your snuggly private moments knowing you are blessed! 😊
112 here with the heat index
10th day in a row
Been this almost all summer
You can make 'Ghee' from excess milk and preserve it
Wow this episode was jam-packed with activities! I thought you would slow down a bit after having Victor. Your videos are just a joy to watch! 😊😘
Throw tomatoes in the freezer as u bring them in. U can core them first if u like but freeze them w skins on. Then when ur ready to make something run them under hot water and the skins fall right off. So easy! Keep a box in a deep freeze to add to and do a big batch.
I will always credit you Lisa for giving me the gift of learning how to create my own sourdough starter in my mid twenties that I hope to keep and use for years to come as I start my family. Another lovely video, God Bless! 🕊️🤍🙏🏽
Thank you so much!
I have 7 homeschool and homebirth also ❤ love the baby wearing. It’s such a short season. I fully embrace it as well.
Lisa, so wonderful to see you and sweet baby Victor. Loved your scenes of late summer daily projects ..I find them so comforting and rewarding. Great to hear about your book..💕💕Liz💕👏
I feel that 0 to 1 is the biggest change, yes, but that's been the easiest for me. I could actually focus on recovery, sleep when the baby sleeps, doctor visits weren't as difficult, etc.. when you have other kids you can't do all that easily. It's not practical because the household and other kid(s) need you. My hardest was 2-3 but only because they were so close in age and my oldest had school, so I was having to do so much. With 1-2 my first was prek and pretty self sufficient.
What a beautiful video! Baby Victor is so sweet….and the other kids are so helpful!
Thank you so much!
I am sure many mentioned it , but on gathering tomatoes for a bigger preservation project, Jessica with Three Rivers Homestead teaches to put the tomatoes in a zip lock bag in the freezer.
The peeling come right off as they thaw when you pull out the bags to do your desired project .
I absolutely agree that having zero kids then having your first one is definitely the hardest transition. After that, you find your stride and it’s just tossing baby into the daily routine 😂 I’ve got 4 so far.
Yay! We just got home from the expo and I can finally sit and watch 😁 it was so nice sitting and talking with you this weekend and letting the kids play! Thank you for being real! ❤Kacy
You too!!
Thank you for showing us your beautiful baby, Lisa ❤
Hi Lisa, a couple tips for you, you can also freeze dry your ricotta and even milk. Also, freeze tomatoes until you have enough for a big batch to can. Love your videos and Congratulations on Victor!
That little bit of a baby boy 🥰 was incorporated into your thriving, loving family seamlessly…..God Bless You for being open to raising a large family. It is a blessing for ALL of the children and you and Luke 🙏🏼
Thank you so much!
You are an amazing mommy ❤. The love in your videos is so comforting ❤
Welcome little one! I am like you that I share my flower arrangements often in my videos too. They are just too beautiful not too:)
You are such a good mum and I admire your strength and determination to make such a wonderful home for your family. I enjoy watching your videos, thank you. ❤
You can throw your tomatoes in the freezer as is until you’re ready to deal with them. Usually the peels slip off easily when they defrost too.
So happy to see you back in the kitchen with that baby!! He is so precious! Everything looks so good and I can’t wait for the cookbook! 🤗❤️
I’m so glad your daughter brought new life to the chair slip-cover! The video of you making it was how I came to know and follow you. You made it seem easy, so I slip-covered one myself. Still looks beautiful!
Luke did a great job with the garden and now that the girls are older that must,help. I love your kitchen. It reminds me of my childhood farm home. Love you and your family
Thanks so much! 😊...great compliment on my kitchen...thank you!
The newest addition, so sweet! Love to see how you go about your day! Looking forward to your book!
Lovely baby! So lovely! Both Mom and baby are so lovely :)
I really like your attitude to life in general
It’s not judgemental and it’s really authentic ❤
Aww Lisa he is just so beautiful and has a ton of hair loved everything you shared today 🙋🏻♀️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Six boys! That's incredible! I so, so hope they are intact! If so, please do a video about not circumcising.
Hey friend, here spending some time with you (and baby) before I get up and get my Friday To Dos done. Hope you guys are doing well. ❤
Some things we use the ricotta for is lemon ricotta pancakes and spread some of fresh toast and drizzle with honey or maple syrup. Or any type of syrup, also spread on toast and toat with everything bagel seasoning, or tomatoes
What a precious baby!!! It’s wonderful to see all your children involved with your every life with chores, cooking, repairing items etc etc. As always, your food looks so delicious!! God bless.
You are truly AMAZING! I get stressed and tired just from all that you do throughout the day... I know your husband appreciates you so much. Your baby is beautiful, and my God continue to bless you.
Thank you so much!!
The flowers, your home, you- absolutely beautiful. Your children are so sweet and are getting so big! It’s fun to watch every year how they grow. Your new little boy is so precious. What a wonderful mama you are ❤ I ordered the kiwi co! My 3 will love it! Thank you ❤ May god bless you all ❤
I just subscribed. Quite amazing to me how she can do all this and make it look so beautiful.
@@patriciakeats5823 isn’t it though? Just wait, she blows you away all the time. I’ve been watching her videos for almost 4 years now. ❤️🙌🏻 Her sister, Laura, had a channel called “Our Oily House” here on RUclips, she’s so sweet also!
Awesome! Thanks! :)
@@erinmorgan8546
I can't imagine the work she puts in before she does all this work. Her and her family must be very in tuned to each other. @@erinmorgan8546
I have 5 grown children and I agree, baby number one rocked my whole world, everything changed, but as I had more it became so much easier. Try ricotta pancakes, they have a lot of protein, nice and hearty. Thank you for another great post, God bless you as you put a new cookbook together.
Have you ever made gelato? I read it’s made with milk, cream and egg yolks. That would be a tasty way to use up some milk and eggs! Also Victor is so darn precious!
Beautiful video as always! Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Tip for saving up tomatoes for canning big batches….. as ripe tomatoes come in, rinse them and core them and then freeze in gallon zip locks. When they thaw, the skins slip right off. No need to blanch. Then you can do all your tomatoes at once.
Thanks for the info!
I am curious about your baby wrap. It is so pretty!
Yes! I want to know what brand it is also.

💁♀️Your new baby is just beautiful. As are all of your children really. Love your homemaking videos❣️
You are such an inspiration! What a darling baby! Your videos just make my day, I am so glad young mothers have you as a guide for motherhood, being a good wife and homemaker, and what a beautiful daughter of God. God bless you all!
I’m watching you thinking about when we were raising our nine children and wishing I still had the energy I see in you. I guess that’s why you have them young. But the one thing I can tell you is grand babies are awesome! ❤
Don't forget you can make tomatoe paste
Safety recommendations are for bottled lemon juice to ensure enough acidity. I'm sharing this in case any one is new at canning. I use citric acid so my tomatoes don't taste like lemon. Congratulations on your beautiful baby.
I watch your videos at night before going to bed as a sort of meditation😂not only are you so inspiring to my motherhood/homemaking/homeschool journey, your vlogs are insanely relaxing to me and I can not get enough. Thank you for all that you do!!!!❤
I'm so glad!
I can not wait for your book!!! I would love to pay and meet you and learn with you how to make these beautiful cheeses, breads and meals
You're incredible
So precious. I miss having babies. My last one was born October 1985. I wished I would have known about wraps back then. What a lovely way for the baby. It simulates them still being in their momma's belly. How healthy for them.
Lisa enjoy this beautiful season, I'm a mom to 8 as well, I found adding the 4 childr to be a difficult transition for myself having 4 kids 5 and under. Then I got the hang of it. I'm similar to you I struggled with the rest time , always wanting to be busy and productive. Love to watch the kiddos grow , you are amazing!
Thank you! You too!
Thank you so much for all the knowledge and wisdom you share about postpartum. You completely transformed my postpartum season with my third baby, and now, I am looking joyfully towards my fourth postpartum season in January. I started to have many issues after my second and was worried I couldn't have more. Now, I am expecting my fourth and know there is a possibility of having many more if I'm careful and take good care of my body in the postpartum season.
I'm so glad!
Oh lil Victor is such a beautiful baby. Thought all of your children are beautiful. Glad you’re back. Continue to take good care of yourself. ❤
Thank you so much 🤗
Oh my gosh a book!? Like a cook book? I hope so!!! I hate having to get on the inter webs to find your recipes. Books are easier sometimes. Love your new baby and this gorgeous video! Thank you!
I often watch your videos and think about you in 20 yrs. You are asking yourself, how did I do all that, and so efficiently? You are awesome, Lisa.
I always admire you. Your sweet Victor is so precious. When I started watching you, Micah was the baby. Now you have another darker haired babe. So cute.
